YogiOli Doula

Where to begin.. we are beyond grateful to have had Oli as our doula on our journey through pregnancy and birth with our first baby. From the minute I met Oli, I felt heard and held. She understood all my wishes and led me through my rights and choices, leaving me feeling empowered and informed. She helped us connect with one another and our babe and gave us tools to support one another throughout the journey. Every session with Oli left us feeling more prepared and more excited, not to mention more relaxed about everything. When it came to the birth, I knew Oli would help me to feel supported and safe - as soon as she entered our space my body relaxed and my labour ramped up. For the most part, she was there for the moral support and took a background seat - trusting my partner and I to tune into what we needed. When midwives entered my space Oli acted as a protecter ensuring they knew what was most important to me in my moment, she continued to check in and advocate for me whenever needed which really helped me to pause and make intentional decisions. When my baby was born, my partner was in the birth pool with me and Oli had her head against mine sharing words of encouragement and pulling me onwards. It was such a special moment and I am so blessed to have shared it with Oli. I could not recommend her more for all things pregnancy and birth, I couldnt have achieved the same positive, peaceful birth without Oli's support and if I ever do it again, I will 1000% be leaning on Oli to guide us.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us trust our babe would enter this world how he needed to, and for empowering me to work with my body and tune into my womb wisdom.Oli is the most incredible doula, friend and person!!!!THANK YOU OLI.With love, Bonnie and Robin xx

Oli creates a safe and warm space for expecting mammas, her weekly yoga class gave me more then I expected and I was sad to stop once my baby arrived!Fantastic way to meet new mums and creat a community around your pregnancy journey. Oli also offers many other groups and gatherings in the community creating a good support network.She’s easy to talk to and pays great attention to the groups needs and adjust her sessions accordingly for the group and individuals.Can’t say anything bad about my time spent with Oli!After a couple sessions of yoga I asked her to be my doula for the birth of my first baby. Can’t say much more then I’d ask her again!

I loved this class, Oli is such a great teacher, and provided a calm relaxing environment to enjoy yoga. It was great to connect with other lovely pregnant women. I would highly recommend Oli’s yoga class, I miss it!

Oli’s pregnancy yoga classes were a highlight of my week during pregnancy. Oli is a wonderful yoga teacher and has a wealth of knowledge on birthing and relaxation techniques. Her calm and positive energy is infectious and the class was also a great way to meet other mums. Highly recommend!

Oli was a fantastic pregnancy yoga teacher. Her class was gentle and helped me feel more connected to the baby and focus on my wellbeing as we got closer to the due date. Highly recommended

Oli’s pregnancy yoga was everything I needed and more! Anytime I had sciatica, nausea, aches and pains it was her yoga that sorted me right out. It was like magic! I also used a lot of her breathing techniques and yoga movement during labour and in the lead up to it and it really helped me. I definitely think it played a part in my super positive, super quick homebirth. I always had her voice in the back of my head telling me what I needed to do!

Oli's yoga classes have held me strong and supported throughout my first pregnancy. She has a beautiful way of bringing together the local community of fellow pregnant women, listening to our individual needs and bringing lightness, a safe space, joy and laughter. Oli is full of wisdom and knowledge on the anatomical, physical, spiritual, mental and emotional roller coasters of pregnancy and motherhood.A very well recommended class!

Oil's classes have been a lifeline for me during pregnancy. To be able to join other women each week to practise nourishing yoga with a knowledgeable and warm teacher has been incredibly grounding. Not only are the classes excellent, but the extra advice and support offered from Oli is wonderful, she truly cares about each student and makes an effort to make everyone feel welcome. Thank you Oli, I am really grateful to have joined you for the classes, I just wish I could do more!
